Deep Dive into the Blends
French Orange: Often simply called "Zig-Zag Oranges," these are the gold standard for ease of use. The flax fibers give the paper a specific "grip" that makes hand-rolling much easier than thinner rice or hemp papers.
Original White: This is the heritage paper that built the brand. It is a slightly thicker, more traditional paper that stays lit well and provides a consistent "old-school" smoking experience.
Ultra Thin: These are highly translucent. By using significantly less paper mass, they reduce "paper smoke" to the absolute minimum, making them the best choice for tasting the specific terpenes of your flower.
Organic Hemp: Crafted from 100% organic, non-GMO hemp. These offer a "sweet" and smooth pull and are the best choice for users prioritizing eco-friendly manufacturing.
Unbleached: These are the most "natural" option. Because they are never treated with chlorine or bleach, they retain the natural tan color of the plant fibers, offering a clean, unadulterated taste.
